A Reading and Vocabulary Text
Linda Butler, Books 1 and 2
Lynn Bonesteel, Book 3
Beginning – Intermediate
With an emphasis on systematic vocabulary acquisition, this
series includes engaging readings about real people, places,
events, and ideas. Students are able to develop the reading
skills essential for a solid reading foundation. The series uses
carefully controlled sentence structure and targets the highfrequency vocabulary that will get students from the 600to the 2,000-word level.
Features:
• Pre-reading questions and tasks get students thinking
about the topic and introduce relevant vocabulary.
• Post-reading exercises help students with comprehension
and strengthen such skills as scanning, summarizing,
discussing, and writing.
• Expansion activities include word families and collocations,
word puzzles, and building dictionary skills.
• Vocabulary self-tests.
The Teacher’s Manual includes an answer key for all student
exercises, unit tests, and Quick Oral Review for vocabulary drills.
